NameCallback

Synopsis

This Callback class represents a request for the username or other text that identifies the user to be authenticated. An interactive CallbackHandler should call getPrompt( ) and getDefaultName( ) and should display the returned prompt and optionally, the returned default name to the user. When the user has entered a name (or accepted the default name) the handler should pass the user’s input to setName( ) .
